Understanding Metatarsal Neuroma

Metatarsal neuroma, also known as Morton's neuroma, is a debilitating condition that affects the nerves in the ball of the foot. It generally occurs between the third and fourth toes and causes various symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, or a burning sensation in the affected area. This condition is often associated with wearing tight footwear, repetitive stress on the foot, or certain foot deformities.

At The Foot Practice, we believe in providing comprehensive information to our patients, empowering them to make informed decisions about their foot health. Our experienced podiatrists will walk you through the causes, symptoms, and treatment options available for metatarsal neuroma, ensuring you have a clear understanding of your condition.

Effective Metatarsal Neuroma Treatment Options

When it comes to metatarsal neuroma treatment, The Foot Practice offers a wide range of effective solutions tailored to meet your specific needs. Our team of highly skilled podiatrists combines knowledge, experience, and advanced techniques to provide the best possible outcomes. Here are some of the treatment options we offer:

1. Conservative Treatments

In mild to moderate cases, conservative treatments can effectively manage metatarsal neuroma symptoms and provide relief. Our podiatrists may recommend:

• Orthotics: Custom-made orthotic inserts are designed to support the foot's arch and redistribute pressure, reducing strain on the affected nerve.
• Change in Footwear: Wearing shoes with a wider toe box and lower heel height can help alleviate pressure on the affected area.
• Padding and Taping: Using specialized padding and taping techniques can provide cushioning and support, reducing discomfort.
• Physical Therapy: Specific exercises and stretches can strengthen the foot muscles and improve flexibility, minimizing the impact on the affected nerve.
• Medication: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be prescribed to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.

2. Minimally Invasive Procedures

In cases where conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief, our experienced podiatrists may recommend minimally invasive procedures to treat metatarsal neuroma. These procedures aim to remove the inflamed nerve tissue while preserving the surrounding structures. The Foot Practice offers innovative techniques such as:

• Cryotherapy: Freezing the affected nerve tissue using specialized instruments to reduce inflammation and provide long-lasting relief.
• Radiofrequency Ablation: Utilizing high-frequency electrical currents to generate heat and disrupt the nerve's pain signals.
• Ultrasound-Guided Injections: Precisely targeting the affected area with corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms.

These minimally invasive procedures minimize post-operative discomfort, ensure quicker recovery, and allow you to resume your daily activities with minimal downtime.

3. Surgical Interventions (When Required)

In severe cases of metatarsal neuroma, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our skilled podiatrists are experienced in performing various surgical procedures to relieve pain and correct the underlying cause of the condition. Surgical options may include:

• Nerve Decompression: Relieving pressure on the affected nerve by releasing the surrounding tissues.
• Nerve Removal: Partial or complete removal of the affected nerve if conservative treatments and minimally invasive procedures do not provide satisfactory results.

Our dedicated team will carefully evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
